“When we allow broad restrictions like Act 372, we don’t just silence authors – we deny readers, particularly young people, the opportunity to see themselves and understand others through literature” – Mary Rasenberger.
This story will get plenty of coverage from the western trade press, so I won’t be covering this in detail for TNPS, but this link takes us to the Authors Guild’s own summary.
This comment from Authors Guild CEO Mary Rasenberger, CEO of the Authors Guild, says the important part out loud:
“This decision represents a crucial victory not just for authors’ right to write about difficult subjects, but for every reader’s freedom to access diverse perspectives and experiences. When we allow broad restrictions like Act 372, we don’t just silence authors – we deny readers, particularly young people, the opportunity to see themselves and understand others through literature.”
